Cancel the 2028 L.A. Olympics
Hosting an Olympic Games requires working with a lawless U.S. regime — and its rights-violating security apparatus — as they openly wage war against California.
By Joe Mathews, July 27, 20251/2
Panic in LA
This show must not go on.
It’s time, right now, for greater Los Angeles to halt all preparations to host the 2028 Summer Olympics. Let’s turn over these Games to a world city better positioned to host them.
Not because Angelenos don’t love the Olympics. We are a proud Olympic city, shaped by the 1932 and 1984 Games. In normal times, the city’s incomparable international connections, entertainment assets and sports facilities would make us the perfect host for what LA 28 chair Casey Wasserman calls “the largest peacetime gathering in the history of the world.”
But it’s no longer peacetime in Los Angeles.
This event is now too dangerous for California.Hosting an Olympic Games requires us to work together with a lawless U.S. regime— and its rights-violating security apparatus — as it openly wages war against our city and state.
National Special Security Events, like the Olympics,require host cities to let federal agencies take the lead during the Games.
For the 2028 Olympics, an agreement, which took effect last year,puts the U.S. Secret Service in charge of security, with support from the FBI and the Department of Homeland Security.
All those agencies work for President Donald Trump, who has launched a war against California that includes deploying troops and secret federal police in our neighborhoods. California leaders have righteously demanded that immigration raids end and the troops leave. But those demands are incompatible with the Olympics agreement, which gives these agencies the power to surge security personnel into Los Angeles.
Transportation Secretary Sean Duffy explicitly linked the current federal occupation of Los Angeles with the 2028 Olympics. He recently declared that Mayor Karen Bass and Gov. Gavin Newsom, by defending protesters instead of Immigration and Customs Enforcement agents, forced the feds to take over the city — and suggested they would do so again.
Duffy said, “If this was a preview of their leadership ahead of next year’s World Cup games and the L.A. 2028 Olympics, we have bigger problems,” Duffy said.
It all may sound like Trumpian nonsense, but California leaders are actually citing the need to hold a safe Olympics to justify partnerships with the very federal agencies now attacking California.
Los Angeles Police Department Chief Jim McDonnell, in his eagerness to go forward with the Games, has come to resemble the British prisoner-of-war Colonel Nicholson in the film “The Bridge on the River Kwai,” who proudly builds a railroad bridge even though it aids his Japanese captors.
McDonnell frequently refers to ICE agents as “law enforcement partners,” despite their attacks on the city that he is sworn to protect. Pressed by the City Council on why he was still working with ICE, McDonnell replied: “Without that partnership, we wouldn’t be able to go into the World Cup, the Olympics.”
Such weakness demonstrates how Trump can use the Olympics against California.
That’s why it’s urgent that California take away the president’s leverage by immediately hitting pause and following up with a deadline and clear demands:We will abandon these Olympics by Friday unless the Trump administration stops all immigration raids, removes all federal troops in L.A., releases all immigration detainees, supports an independent prosecutor to investigate the raids and restores all frozen federal funding for California.
Anything less, and we’re out.…

Sports officials worldwide would be furious. But if we drop the Games, we might refocus on our city. Longtime Los Angeles city government official Rick Cole asked: “If we can’t pave our streets, repair our sidewalks, trim our trees, house our homeless, light our bridges and fix our fire trucks, how can we host an Olympics in just three years?”
Unexpected expenses from the Games could hurt public budgets that are already in deficit. And Trump, famous for stiffing partners, could try to stick L.A. with billions in federal security costs.
Trump also is destroying the Games’ potential upside. The Olympics can make money if people all over the world come to see them.
But Trump’s travel ban— and his regime’s willingness to detain and jail tourists — will discourage attendance. Some countries may even boycott. (? Travel ban for terrorist countries)
But the biggest threat posed by a Trump Olympics is to our democracy.
Trump has indicated that he intends to use the Games to celebrate himself and consolidate his authoritarian regime.
Expect to see Trump lighting the torch while sitting in thestands with his fellow autocrats— Hungarian Prime Minister Viktor Orban, Indian Prime Minister Narendra Modi andmaybe even Russian President Vladimir Putin.
Indeed, the 2028 Games could take place while Trump is campaigning for an unconstitutional third term as president. Tyrants have used the Olympics in this way before — Google “Adolf Hitler” and “1936 Berlin Olympics.”
Why on Earth should Californians spend our precious time and moneyon a fascist pageant for our oppressor?
If the 2028 Olympics go forward, they’ll be little more than a weapon for Trump to use against us.

=Elon Musk confirms Tesla has signed a $16.5 billion chip contract with Samsung Electronics==
PUBLISHED SUN, JUL 27 20258:30 PM DYLAN BUTTS
KEY POINTS
• Elon Musk confirmed Tesla had signed a $16.5 billion chip contract with Samsung.
• Samsung did not name the counterparty but said that the effective start date of the contract was July 26, 2025 — receipt of orders — and its end date was Dec. 31, 2033.
• Samsung, which is set to deliver earnings on Thursday, expects its second-quarter profit to more than halve.
Samsung Electronics has entered into a $16.5 billion contract for supplying semiconductors to Tesla, based on a regulatory filing by the South Korean firm and Tesla CEO Elon Musk’s posts on X.
The memory chipmaker, which had not named the counterparty, mentioned in its filing that the effective start date of the contract was July 26, 2025 — receipt of orders — and its end date was Dec. 31, 2033.
However, Musk later confirmed in a reply to a post on social media platform X that Tesla was the counterparty.
He also posted: “Samsung’s giant new Texas fab will be dedicated to making Tesla’s next-generation AI6 chip. The strategic importance of this is hard to overstate. Samsung currently makes AI4.TSMC will make AI5, which just finished design, initially in Taiwan and then Arizona.”
“Samsung agreed to allow Tesla to assist in maximizing manufacturing efficiency. This is a critical point, as I will walk the line personally to accelerate the pace of progress,” Musk said on X, and suggested that the deal with Samsung could likely be even larger than the announced $16.5 billion.
Samsung earlier said that details of the deal, including the name of the counterparty, will not be disclosed until the end of 2033, citing a request from the second party “to protect trade secrets,” according to a Google translation of the filing in Korean on Monday.
“Since the main contents of the contract have not been disclosed due to the need to maintain business confidentiality, investors are advised to invest carefully considering the possibility of changes or termination of the contract,” the company said.
The company’s shares rose over 6% in trading on Monday to reach their highest level since September 2024.
Tesla was a probable customer, Ray Wang, research director of semiconductors, supply chain and emerging technology at The Futurum Group, told CNBC before Musk’s post. Bloomberg News had earlier reported that Samsung’s deal was with Tesla, citing a source.
Samsung’s foundry service manufactures chips based on designs provided by other companies. It is the second largest provider of foundry services globally, behind Taiwan Semiconductor Manufacturing Company.
The company stated in April that it aimed to commence 2 nanometer mass production in its foundry business and secure major orders for the next-generation technology. In semiconductor technology, smaller nanometer sizes signify more compact transistor designs, which lead to greater processing power and efficiency.
Local South Korean media outlets have also reported that American chip firm Qualcommcould place an order for chips manufactured using Samsung’s 2 nanometer technology.
Samsung, which is set to deliver earnings on Thursday, expects its second-quarter profit to more than halve. An analyst previously told CNBC that the disappointing forecast was due to weak orders for its foundry business and as the company has struggled to capture AI demand for its memory business.
The company has fallen behind competitors SK Hynix and Micron in high-bandwidth memory chips — an advanced type of memory used in AI chipsets.
SK Hynix, the leader in HBM, has become the main supplier of these chips to American AI behemoth Nvidia. While Samsung has reportedly been working to get the latest version of its HBM chips certified by Nvidia, a report from a local outlet suggests these plans have been pushed back to at least September.
